Chapter 1
The enchanted forest is just like it said it were, enchanted. The tall trees block the sun's rays so that not one should could escape its clutches. Death is on every corner. All kinds of mystical creatures lie there waiting to grab a hold of them. Perfect for a group of kids to explore it!
We were pushing past branches that were in our way as we venture out into the forest. Aiden leading the way. Cerys walking behind him. "Why don't we just teleport there instead of having to do this ridiculously long process?" I groaned just as a tree branch hit my face. "It's because we can't. Don't you think we would've been smart enough to try it?" Aiden replied.
Lucienne shivered slightly, but remained in the same pleasant mood. "I think it's because of a magic barrier surrounding it. I mean, it's the most likely possibility. It's not abnormal." She too got hit by a branch in the midst of saying this.
Swirling black marks appeared on the side of her face as her eyes glow a light pink. Raising her left hand just enough to be in front of her, she flicked it up. A flash of pink appeared as there is nothing covering our path. The black markings slowly disappear as her eyes turn back their original turquoise colour. "Isn't that better?", she saw the worried looks on our faces and quickly explained. "Don't worry, they'll be back in a bit. It's just a temporary spell. We best get a move on!"
The three of us looked at each other as the Blonde happily skips through the barren land. We shrug, as she has always been unpredictable. Cerys caught up to Lucy and they talked about what she said earlier, considering that it could possibly be a magical barrier. "Despite having truths in it, I haven't read, heard, nor seen a barrier that behaves even similar to this one. When approaching it you immediately go back to where you were before. That's ludicrous!" "Look, maybe it's from a really old spell that One in a million people know. I don't know, it was just a theory."
This continues for a few more moments until Aiden finally had enough. "Could we please keep this journey civil for a few more minutes?" He said in a frighteningly calm way. It worked though as the two refreained from trying to do it again.
The rest was fairly quiet. Some mischievous elves popping up from time to time and fae trying to trick us into giving them permission to access our bodies, quite normal to say the least. Aiden stopped suddenly and looked up from his map, looking just as lost as we were. "I believe we're here?" he questions, not even sure himself. I knew what to do, despite it looking barren, I closed my eyes and concentrated on finding it's aura. It was tough, as I did not know exactly what I was searching for, but it was there. The portal was strange, these sorts would be shown in an instant. Filled to the brim with magical aura, but it wasn't.
My eyes are still closed as I approached it, but before I can even get close, I was zapped. I hissed, it didn't hurt TOO much, but it was enough. "I guess this is the thing that's protecting it, huh?" My violet glow circled around it and got a hold of something. I pulled it and found it to be some sort of rectangular device that produces some kind of electricity. It wasn't anything from our world so we can only assume it was from the other. "Fascinating.." I heard Cerys whisper to herself, trying to get a closer look at the contraption.
With her attempt, Cerys tripped on a stray branch and accidentally fell right into the portal. Aiden went to help her but got sucked into the portal also, but before this could happen, he managed to drag Lucy in which she dragged me. Making us all fall down the swirling vortex.
I felt my body rip through space and time. The place was spinning, stars were so bright, planets were so close. I tried my best to keep awake but still passed out due to my body not being able to handle anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~
The first thing I saw was that there was a beautiful lady with black hair and striking amber eyes looking directly at me. The next thing I notice was that she was holding another weird contraption to my head.
I couldn't seem to be able to move nor use my magic. My friends were tied up and unconscious, but the girl was still focused on me.
"What are your doing here on Earth?"
She asked skeptically. "We have no idea but we mean no harm, We come in peace." I say, trying my best to stay confident. A low growl emitted from her "I don't believe you, show me that you mean your words." I chuckled lightly "I have no idea what to do but I can reassure you that we have no weapons in hand." She didn't lower her guard. I wasn't expecting her to anyways, I just want to be freed from these itchy ropes. They're highly uncomfortable.
My eyes glowed yet again and I managed to untie myself, letting the ropes drop to the ground. The female had a look of shock and curiosity, what? Hadn't she ever seen Magic before? I stood up and was about to turn away from her until she grabbed my wrist. There was an excited glint in her eyes "You're one of those from the prophecy! I can't believe I finally found you!" I was utterly confused "Prophecy? I think you have the wrong guy, sorry for getting your hopes up." I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.
"Beast of each element, all set to destroy, the World that does not have the last one employed. Balance disrupted, Peace reduced, the dimension at hand is of no use. Where a group of young magicals, powerful and grand, was said to come and protect the land, having no choice but to lend a hand." she read it aloud and scrunched her face up in confusion. "This doesn't even make much sense, but I'm guessing you people are our Saviors?"
"There must be a mistake, we arrived here by accident. We couldn't possibly be the people in the prophecy."
She shook her head furiously "You've got to believe me! We have a serious problem at our hands and you are our only hope." I listened intently on what she is about to say. "Recently, five creatures came out of nowhere and is terrorizing our lands. We do not have the strength to defeat them and the prophecy is our only hope. We were also tasked to give this dream catcher to our Savior." she gave me a purple coloured dram catcher with five small pendants hanging from the bottom sides of it. I thought about it and sighed.
"We literally have no say in this, but we will help you." a big grin is present on the female's face "If you give us a good enough reason to."
"Well, judging that you came out of nowhere, this isn't your world. I'm guessing your world is filled with magic. Balance is disrupted meaning it will affect both of us and the beasts would continue to wreak havoc when we're at our weakest." She has a point. "I guess we would help after all."
I snap my fingers and the others immediately woke up, I quickly informed them what was going on telepathically.
"Looks like we got a dimension to save."
